When the .config/auth directory has been removed (or has never existed, e.g. when the mirror repository is accessed from a different machine), I get an error:
$ svnsync sync file://$PWD/svn-mpfr svnsync: E165001: Revprop change blocked by pre-revprop-change hook (exit code 1) with output: Only the svnsync user can change revprops with the pre-revprop-change hook mentioned on: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt I would have expected the username "svnsync" to be remembered. There's no documentation at all about the way it is remembered, and the relation to the .config/auth directory was not obvious: there's nothing related to authentication here. It seems that the fix is to provide the "--sync-username svnsync" option to svnsync, and then this option is no longer needed. Again, this is not documented. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
